creaking and other stuff going on....

Your front end could simply be worn out.

Put a jack under the lower control arm and jack one tire off the ground about 2-3 inches. Grab the tire at 3 and 9 o'clock and try and wiggle it back and forth. Grab it at 12 and 6 o'clock and do the same.

Put a bar under the tire and lift and release.

Repeat other side.

Do you get movement/clunking with these two tests. If so how much?


I tried this last night and didn't have any movement or clunking.

I'm stumped. Maybe a strut rod bushing? When I looked at them last night, they looked like they were in good shape though.
